Grey Cities

You are gone now
Covered by a horizon
Your salvation
A city of grey

As I wander, passing back through a memory
Chasing what you left me
The shining Sun in your eye
Unseen

At a distance we are one still
In a fragrance filling up your night
When you faltered I would catch you
But I'm lost here on the other side of the line

In the open, unseen, unseen but always there
Every time, I reach over the wall
In my weakness reaching for you
There’s nothing there, nothing left to resolve

But to know an emptiness inside
These inner eyes, that fade
There’s a soft voice you can hear, so cold yet earnest
There’s a solace that’s calling through your door

In the ruins, of this living memory we’re crawling up a stairway
To something real
In the open, unseen
Unseen, but always there

In the open, unseen
Unseen
